Honkai, why do you only play high-end games?

Rita was not surprised at all. She swiftly shuttled through one giant "ice sculpture" after another, using her scythe that emitted high temperatures and with extreme efficiency like a hot knife cutting butter, she wantonly harvested the lives of the immobile Honkai beasts trapped in the ice!

But I wonder if they also have the emotion of "fear" in their hearts?

Rita had no sympathy for them at all. Instead, she felt that her killing efficiency was too low, so she completely activated the Valkyrie armor she was wearing and fully turned on the particle flow dispersion system.

In an instant, the already bleak "slaughterhouse" became even colder, but Rita's purpose was not this.

As the crescent particles spread to the extreme, a huge human-shaped phantom slowly appeared behind Rita's overlapping gauze wings. It looked as beautiful as a dream, but it was actually an out-and-out killing machine!

The phantom held a sickle that was similar in shape to the one in Rita's hand, but even larger. He silently cooperated with his master, and in this murderous hell where only he could move freely, he ruthlessly launched a larger-scale one-sided massacre!

Sometimes left, sometimes right, sometimes forward, sometimes backward;

No matter where these two figures emitting brilliant blue light went, they would only leave behind a pile of broken fragments - without a doubt, those were the stones that the Honkai Beast still kept frozen like ice.

"Wow!"

Even Lin Wei, who was used to seeing big storms, couldn't help but admire Rita from afar after seeing her fighting posture that combined fierceness and cruelty, beauty and elegance.

All the Valkyries who witnessed this cheered loudly, excited about the victory and shocked by the terrifying strength displayed by the S-class Valkyries.

Since Lady Rita is so powerful, what do we have to worry about?

The Valkyries of the Snow Lotus team felt relieved and began to bandage each other's wounds wholeheartedly and help each other massage their stiff limbs and muscles. For a moment, they were quite happy and excited, as if they had returned to the time before everything happened.

However, when they looked around, the city in the distance still looked like a hell on earth, and there were indeed fewer familiar faces among their comrades.

The cruel reality was too cold, and in just a moment, it extinguished their remaining passion, and the atmosphere fell silent again.

So, they gritted their teeth and continued to bandage each other's wounds and restore each other's strength. They also carefully checked their equipment, replaced the damaged weapons with new ones, and prepared to face new battles.

Because they know that the current victory is only temporary and everything is far from over.

After more than half an hour, everyone's physical strength had almost recovered, and the temperature began to gradually return to normal. On the battlefield that was gradually thawing in the distance, some of the surviving Honkai beasts also began to slowly come back to life.

"kill!"

How could the Valkyries of the Snow Lotus Squad miss this opportunity? They leaped over the low wall in front of them, vowing to strangle them completely.

"Captain Jie'er, please wait a moment."

Lin Wei, who was still staying behind the low wall, grabbed Jier, who was originally leading the way, and waited until the other Valkyries were a little further away before asking,

"Where's Anna?"

Chapter 173: Who says those with selfish motives are not heroes?

"Captain Jie'er, please wait a moment."

Lin Wei grabbed Captain Jie Er, who was about to return to the battlefield, and waited until the other Valkyries were a little further away before lowering his voice and asking,

"Where's Anna?"

This question has been on his mind for a long time.

When he arrived here in time with Rita and met up with the Valkyries of the Snow Lotus team, he did not see Anna among the surviving Valkyries, which made his heart skip a beat.

Among the dead Valkyries that the Valkyrie team members had fought so hard to rescue and carefully put together, Anna's face was also not seen. This made him feel a little relieved, but not much.

But before that, the situation on the battlefield was critical and destruction was imminent. It was only because of his and Rita's timely intervention that the situation was barely stabilized; but the morale of the Snow Lotus team itself was still extremely low and uneasy, and it could even be said that they were like a frightened bird.

At such a delicate moment, no matter how much Lin Wei worried about Anna's safety, he could not create any more trouble and add new burdens to the hearts of these Valkyries who were on the verge of collapse.

This will undoubtedly crush them.

Lin Wei couldn't bear to do such a cruel thing.

But now, Rita's invincible posture, which was almost like a ruler on the battlefield, deeply inspired the confidence and courage of these Valkyries; at this time, there would be no such danger if Anna's matter was mentioned again.

not to mention……

"Keep your voice down so your teammates don't hear."

Lin Wei glanced at the direction of the battlefield in the distance. The figure with blue light had already penetrated deep into the battlefield.

"I don't want Rita to hear about this."

"Uh?"

Jier was stunned for a moment.

She originally thought that since Lin Wei could arrive with Rita, they must be close friends; but she didn't expect that these two reinforcements who had just cooperated seamlessly, actually had such a deep grudge against each other secretly?

"Rita and I are only working together temporarily. After all, the Honkai Impact 3rd broke out suddenly, so even the biggest conflicts should be put aside for now."

In order not to drag things out and attract other people's attention, Lin Wei kept her words very brief.

"The feud between Bishop Otto and I is just a personal one, and it doesn't involve anyone else. The more this is the case, the less people will know about Anna and I, and the safer it will be for both me and her."

Lin Wei's tone was serious and sincere. He knew that the Valkyrie captain in front of him also cared about Anna.

At this point, he no longer had any hope that "Otto didn't know about his existence", and it was only a matter of time before he had a head-on collision with that guy.

No matter how upset he was about the result, Lin Wei would not deny the reality and deceive himself with a weak excuse.

And because of this, he must also face up to the fact that Anna has become his weakness that makes him isolated and even naturally controlled by Otto.

Once exposed, even if they are not completely controlled by others, they will inevitably fall into a passive position.

And when Otto finds that he has such a card to play, will he turn a blind eye to it?

Lin Wei sneered in response.

Otto was once exploited and even played with like a dog because of Kallen. He had experienced similar things and understood how embarrassing it was to be controlled by others.

In this case, how could he not make good use of this card when he is well aware of the reason?

"Damn, all the work we did before was in vain!"

Lin Wei thought indignantly,

"I shouldn't have gone to that lousy place called Coral Island in the first place. I was just asking for trouble!"

If I were hard-hearted, it would be simple. I would just not care about her life or death from the beginning, and then I wouldn't have the troubles today. But I am not that kind of person after all.

Lin Wei couldn't help but laugh at himself. He was usually a bit of a jerk, so why was he always so emotional at critical moments?

Since he could no longer hide, he had to settle for the next best thing - hiding Anna so that he could deal with Otto without any scruples.

"Captain Jier, I..."

"No more words!"

Lin Wei wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Jie Er who had reacted.

"Before the Honkai erupted, Anna was still stranded in the hospital you visited. I only had time to send her an order to return to the team before everything happened."

She shook her head and said with some regret,

"As for her current condition, whether she's alive or dead, I'm sorry, I don't know..."

If Anna could have returned to the team earlier, would her life or death not be unknown?

If he had the combat power of an A-grade Valkyrie, wouldn't a few of his team members have died?

Jier didn't know, but she insisted that all these consequences were caused by her own wrong decisions.

Therefore, although she actually didn't understand what Lin Wei was worried about, she chose to believe the man who saved the lives of her subordinates. At least, he also cared about Team Member Anna.

As for whether he is the enemy of destiny?

Jie'er doesn't care about this problem.

She is a Valkyrie, and her duty is to fight against Honkai and protect humanity, nothing more.

As for other matters, she was already exhausted both physically and mentally, and had no interest or energy to worry about them.

What's more, Lin Wei is the only one who can rescue Anna right now. That's enough, isn't it?

Thinking of this, Jie Er grabbed Lin Wei's hand and said with a little excitement,

"If you want to rescue her, please do it quickly!"

"Why is she still stuck in that hospital?"

Lin Wei was stunned when he heard this, and quickly asked,

"Hasn't her injury recovered yet?"

If that's the case, Anna would probably be in great danger, and Lin Wei was a little worried about it.

Jie Er also explained the cause and effect in simple language. Lin Wei suddenly understood and then couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"So it's still my fault..."

In the end, Anna was still alone and had not reunited with her teammates.

what is this?

The world line ends?

Or is it another deviation of the world line?

Or maybe both?

"I understand. Leave it to me. I will bring her back safely."

Lin Wei took a deep breath. Since it had already happened, he could only make the best of it.

"Well, please."

Jier smiled gratefully, and without saying anything more, he turned around and returned to the battlefield.

Lin Wei sighed slightly upon seeing this. In this cruel hell, how much space could be left for children's love affairs?

Just look at the Valkyries from Jier and Xuelian’s teams; they didn’t even have time to grieve.

In the face of unparalleled disasters, human emotions and beliefs are so fragile and vulnerable...

But isn't it these things that have allowed them to persist in fighting until now?

Whether it's Anna, Jier, or the other Valkyries of the Snow Lotus team;

Lin Wei raised her gaze slightly, and Rita, who was showing her deepest...

They are actually all the same.

On the battlefield beyond, the particle flow dispersion system had long since shut down, entering a lengthy cooldown and recharge cycle. Rita had no intention of venturing any deeper. So, after a final "mop-up" deep within the battlefront, she began to return the way she had come, picking off any scattered escapees while reuniting with the Snow Lotus team that had arrived to support her.

Seeing that their condition had recovered a lot, Rita nodded with satisfaction; wasn't it for this purpose that she fought alone all the way here?

"From now on, I will temporarily take over the battlefield command. What do you think?"

Rita asked politely.

"Lady Rita, you're welcome. All the Valkyries in the Snow Lotus Squad will resolutely carry out your orders!"

Without waiting for the team members to speak, Jier, who had already caught up with the team members, had already expressed his opinion, and the team members nodded.

Even if we put aside the heroic performance that Rita had just displayed, her status as an S-class Valkyrie naturally gave her higher command authority. How could they resist?

"In that case, that would be great."

Rita smiled modestly, the curves of her eyes and mouth like a lady.

"Don't go any deeper. While the Honkai beasts are being killed and the enemies further back haven't been replenished yet, hurry up and establish a defensive position."

Rita's tone was very serious.

"Follow-up support is on the way. Our battle is far from over. Don't be careless."

In fact, she herself didn't know when the reinforcements would arrive; after all, her timely appearance was just an accident.

"If the collapse came, and I wasn't stranded in Singapore, which is not far from here, but somewhere even further away..."

Rita shook her head and stopped thinking about those vague ifs.

However, she knew clearly that it would be impossible for these Valkyries fighting alone to hold out until reinforcements arrived.

And now, her timely arrival did not actually solve the problem fundamentally - she still had to lead these surviving Valkyries to stay here and guard the last piece of pure land behind her until the real reinforcements arrived.

As for when they will arrive?

Even Rita herself didn't know about this.

After all, the communication is still cut off, and she has no control over how the reinforcements will arrive or how they will cooperate with each other after arriving.
